In late February 2019, I acquired a truck from a used dealership that I have done business with before. Upon obtaining this vehicle I started having issues right away. First issue I encountered, I was driving back to Kansas City from lebanon, mo and all of the sudden my brakes went out and my steering locked up and truck started jerking really bad. I drove like this all the way home and took it to a mechanic and low and behold it's cost me $100 to repair the problem. Shortly after I noticed my truck was having issues with getting up to speed while getting on the highway. I would end up having the petal to the floor and it would still act like it didn't want to accelerate almost like a delay and then slowly gain speed. It felt as if it was slipping or it just wasn't getting any power. My oil pressure sensor had went out without me knowing at the time so I thought the problem had to deal with my oil pump. I finally took it back to the mechanic I used before and he ran a diagnostic test on my truck due to him not finding any issues besides my oil pressure sensor was defective. The diagnostic came back with multiple codes and 3 of them had to deal with the transmission. I decided to take my truck to my brother and have him look at it for a second opinion. Upon doing so he test drove and inspected the truck entirely and concluded that he didn't feel there was an issue with the truck at all. He ran his own diagnostic on it as well but his cane back with no codes that came up at all. So I drove off confused because of all the different information that was given to me on top of the problems I knew I was having because the truck wasn't running like it did when I drove it off the lot. Some time past and then another problem. My brakes and rotors were trashed and needed to be replaced asap and then my odometer started reading service air bag and would not go off.

The air bag service light and is lit as well as the service center saying it needs service, also has the same brake problems the 2007 and up Silverado where recalled for with the failure of the front ABS sensors. The ABS problem could cause an accident at low speed because everytime you stop the ABS system activates and pulses until stopped at 15 to 20 mph and increases stopping distance. The air bag light is because of a sensor failure in the front end area and requires replacement. From what I read on the internet these are well known safety issues with the model trucks. The other problems with the premature failure of brake lines that have corroded, and the check engine light being on for the ever well known problem of the vacuum solenoid near the full tank. These are constant problems with this yr and other models at GM. They should be recalled.
